SOME rHEArRTcAL GOSSIP.

Lille Langtry cannot, il appears. stand
prosperity She has, this season. made
more money than ever before in her life.
and with il all she has done more Kicking
than Clara Morris, or even Bernhardt, ever
thought of doing. Some months ago Leigh
Lynch. for many years business manager Of
the Union Square Theatre and lately acting
menager of Niblo's, took charge of the
Jersey Lily's American tour, and from the
stories he tells it would appear that he has
had lively picnic with the er-
ratio and exotic beauty. who will
be Mrs. Fred Gebbart as soon
as some American Judge grants her q di
vorce. Lille, you know, has a beautiful
private car arranged with special reference
10 the comfort and enjoyment of herself
and Freddie. This car II appears has been
the bctc n0ir of Mr.. Lynchs existence for
some time. He would leave the Lille in
New York, within her own lovely home
and go to Philadelphia. Baltimore or
Richmond TO arrange for an engagement
having contracted with railroad compan-
les to haul the private car oct of New York
to Piainfield. \. j.. or some other town
near the metropolis. Something would
transpire and the railroad would refuse or
raise objection 10 taking the car and then
Lille would telegraph Lynch: Return 10
New York ct once-most important
Lynch dutifully returned several times on
little errands OF this kind and one time was
horYifed to discover that the once beauteols
pet of the Prince Of Wales had been obliged
10 ride 10 miles in an ordinary cattle car
said cattle car" being the finest drawing
room coach that the Pennsylvania Central
could produce. The Lille raved and used
| Language that would have made
| the gray haired rector OF Guernsey
shudder The upshot OF the
whole matter wss that Lynch found fault
with her canceling engagements after he
had made them and she had signed the
contracts and left Mrs. Langtry TO her own
desires. The actress has cancelled her en-
gagemsnt in this city after having signed a
contract with Mr.. Powers for two nights
the 18th and 18th of this month-and will
not come here 81 all. She has done the
same thing with Muskegon and ali her
Michigan dates. Manager Powers. of this
city. and Manager Reynolds, of Mnskegon,
will both sue for damages. and the eccen-
trio actress will proosoly have a warn
time before she gets through with Mr..
Lynch.
